In this informative session, Georgia’s Suicide and Crisis Response team presenters from the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities share how schools can utilize the three prongs of Georgia’s 988: someone to call, someone to respond, and a safe place for help, to support students and families with mental health needs. Common myths are addressed and participants are equipped with confidence in utilizing the service and spreading awareness. A recent Georgia study revealed only 30% of Georgians were aware of 988 and of those respondents, only 54% accurately understood its purpose as Georgia’s Suicide & Crisis Response line. View this recording to see current data and future goals for 988 implementation and response.
